Shame these aren't 'proper' brochures...if you know what i mean.

They are just the pdf of the real brochures which you can download from the manufacturers sites. Guess he wants to make a little money.

There's a few sellers offering pdf's of original brochures, and I suspect they are breaching the manufacturers' copyright. Whether the manufacturers care or not is another question, although Maserati cared about the unauthorised use of their logo and made forum owners remove it.

Indeed Phil. I think Maserati were concerned that we were making a profit out of their brand, not the case, never received penny except the odd donation from our senior members.

Nothing for nothing...I am trying to build a history of my '06 Spyder and would like to own an original sales brochure...and would likley pay a few bucks for it.
So I think selling on Ebay is OK...but then I am looking to buy what this guy is selling! ('06 not '03)
I bought the Spyder history book from the Maserati store...very nicely done, great pictures (it maybe the same picture...a yellow Spyder)...in Italian and English for 24 euros.
Anybody got a '06 Spyder sales brochure they want to part with?

Stoner, there is always a number of Spyder original brochures on UK eBay.....but I don't there was onevspecific to the GS Spyder but one that covers the whole Spyder range.......

Hi, I "think" I've the pdf of the Gransport brochure hanging out on some hard disk somewhere. The Spyder was in the same brochure as the Coupe for the Gransport if I remember rightly.

Ok found it. PM me your email address and I can forward a copy for you.
